Research & Development

If you think for a second, the biggest innovations that are shaking the world of today started with R&D. This stage has been fundamental in any industrial revolution, including additive manufacturing. This segment highlights the latest AM developments in the R&D sector.

Parts On Demand and AM-Flow optimize recognition and processing of 3D printed parts produced in series production

We used to talk about automation after the 3D printing process when it comes to post-processing while in fact, some of the most annoying tasks after the fabrication are identification and sorting. It's like...

DeSimone and his team develop higher speed, multi-material iCLIP 3D printing method

Known for developing Carbon’s DLS 3D printing process, Joseph DeSimone remains a man with multiple hats in the research and scientific world. On the heels of the development of a 3D printed vaccine patch...

3D Printing 17-4 PH, one of the strongest stainless steels, while maintaining its favorable properties is now possible

17-4 PH Stainless Steel is a precipitation hardening martensitic stainless steel that is typically seen in applications requiring high strength and a modest level of corrosion resistance. Described as a material with the highest...

GKN Aerospace and Northrop Grumman achieve their largest Titanium 3D Printed Aerostructure Component

Imagine a component that measures 8 feet (2.5 meters) and processed from approximately 100 pounds (45 kg) of titanium. This is exactly the type of additive manufacturing production I would like to see by...

Cornell University and Lithoz to explore the use of Ceramic 3D Printing for clean energy reactors

Cornell University, alongside its start-up Dimensional Energy and Lithoz, have been awarded a grant to develop novel ceramics that could be used to 3D print parts of clean energy reactors.  If you have a slight interest...

3D Printed Wood Features Shape Changing Capabilities  

This will be a premiere in the engineering world. Researchers from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem have developed a new method for 3D printing wooden structures that change shape as they dry. The process...
